HOLIDAY Class

Each record in the HOLIDAY class defines one or more periods when users need extra permission to log in.

Each user has the same access for all the time periods in a record. This means that if you include more than one holiday period in a holiday record, you cannot allow a user to log in during some of those periods and prevent that user from logging in during others. For example, if you want to allow a specific user to log in during New Year's Day but not during Christmas, then the two holidays must be defined in different records.

If you do not specify the year, the holiday is considered annual.

You can override HOLIDAY class restrictions for individual users by specifying the IGN_HOL attribute in the newusr, chusr, or editusr command.

The key of the HOLIDAY class record is the name of the HOLIDAY record.

The following definitions describe the properties contained in this class record. Most properties are modifiable and can be manipulated using selang or the administration interfaces. Non-modifiable properties are marked informational.

ACL

Defines a list of accessors (users and groups) permitted to access the resource, and the accessors' access types.

Each element in the access control list (ACL) contains the following information:

Accessor

Defines an accessor.

Access

Defines the access authority that the accessor has to the resource.

Use the access parameter with the authorize or authorize- command to modify the ACL.

CALACL

Defines a list of the accessors (users and groups) that are permitted to access the resource, and their access types according to the Unicenter NSM calendar status.

Each element in the calendar access control list (CALACL) contains the following information:

Accessor

Defines an accessor.

Calendar

Defines a reference to a calendar in Unicenter TNG.

Access

Defines the access authority that the accessor has to the resource.

Access is permitted only when the calendar is ON. Access is denied in all other cases.

Use the calendar parameter with the authorize command to permit user or group access to the resource according to the access defined in the calendar ACL.

CATEGORY

Defines one or more security categories assigned to a user or a resource.

COMMENT

Defines additional information that you want to include in the record. CA ControlMinder does not use this information for authorization.

Limit: 255 characters.

CREATE_TIME

(Informational) Displays the date and time when the record was created.

GROUPS

Defines the list of CONTAINER records that a resource record belongs to.

To modify this property in a class record, change the MEMBERS property in the appropriate CONTAINER record.

Use the mem+ or mem‑ parameter with the chres, editres or newres command to modify this property.

HOL_DATE

Specifies the period during which users cannot log in.

The following rules apply to the HOL_DATE property:

Use the dates parameter with the chres, editres, and newres commands to modify this property.

NACL

The NACL property of a resource is an access control list that defines the accessors that are denied authorization to a resource, together with the type of access that they are denied (for example, write). See also ACL, CALACL, PACL. Each entry in the NACL contains the following information:

Accessor

Defines an accessor.

Access

Defines the type of access that is denied to the accessor.

Use the authorize deniedaccess command, or the authorize- deniedaccess- command, to modify this property.

NOTIFY

Defines the user to be notified when a resource or user generates an audit event. CA ControlMinder can email the audit record to the specified user.

Limit: 30 characters.

OWNER

Defines the user or group that owns the record.

RAUDIT

Defines the types of access events that CA ControlMinder records in the audit log. RAUDIT derives its name from Resource AUDIT. Valid values are:

all

All access requests.

success

Granted access requests.

failure

Denied access requests (default).

none

No access requests.

CA ControlMinder records events on each attempted access to a resource, and does not record whether the access rules were applied directly to the resource, or were applied to a group or class that had the resource as a member.

Use the audit parameter of the chres and chfile commands to modify the audit mode.

SECLABEL

Defines the security label of a user or resource.

Note: The SECLABEL property corresponds to the label[-] parameter of the chres and ch[x]usr commands.

SECLEVEL

Defines the security level of an accessor or resource.

Note: This property corresponds to the level[-] parameter of the ch[x]usr and chres commands.

UACC

Defines the default access authority for the resource, which indicates the access granted to accessors who are not defined to CA ControlMinder or who do not appear in the ACL of the resource.

Use the defaccess parameter with the chres, editres, or newres command to modify this property.

UPDATE_TIME

(Informational) Displays the date and time when the record was last modified.

UPDATE_WHO

(Informational) Displays the administrator who performed the update.

WARNING

Specifies whether Warning mode is enabled. When Warning mode is enabled on a resource, all access requests to the resource are granted, and if an access request violates an access rule, a record is written to the audit log.
